Updated and enhanced with a Lite-Flite Lazer Drill Unit and a powerful 6-amp battery, the StrikeMaster Pro Lithium 40V Lite Auger will make that hard water look like Swiss cheese in no time at all. This tough, durable electric ice auger does everything a gas drill does except it won't smoke you out of your shelter, leak gas, blow out your eardrums, or start hard. At only 21 lbs., the StrikeMaster Lithium 40V Ice Auger is easy to transport, and the combination of its 15.9:1 planetary gear system, a full-length flighting made of proprietary synthetic resin, and twin serrated stainless steel Lazer blades deliver jaw-dropping torque and power. With 16" of ice, you can quickly drill 115 holes between charges with this 8" model. And because of its advanced Internal Battery Management System, the 40V, 6 amp-hour lithium-ion battery maintains full power to the end of the charge, with no fade-out, so you can keep drilling and reopening old holes with impunity. The StrikeMaster Pro Lithium 40V Lite Auger includes a 2-amp rapid-charging base; a full recharge takes only 3 hours. To start drilling, just push a button; features both forward and reverse modes, custom impact-absorbing handles, and ergonomic controls with deadman safety switch and LED lights.
